How to Market my San Diego Rental Property Like a Professional Property Manager

americanheritageproperties • August 18, 2015

We’re talking today about marketing your rental property. Craigslist is the biggest resource in the San Diego rental market. A majority of tenants seek out Craigslist to find rental properties, and even if they go to other places, Craigslist is always a consideration. We also use Trulia.com, Hotpads.com and Zillow.com. Those help too, especially since you want to go for maximum exposure. You don’t care where the right tenant comes from; you just want to get your property out there.

Placing a For Rent sign in the front yard is also helpful. A lot of times we find that neighbors might know someone who’s looking to move. People will drive by and see the sign up, and if they know their friends are looking for a place, they can bring in potential tenants for your property.

There are many different ways to market your property, but the Internet is the best resource now. Many years ago, newspaper advertisements were used. We don’t do that now because the Internet is more effective.

If you have any questions about marketing, please contact us at American Heritage Properties, and we’d be glad to tell you more.
